Question

look at the colored part of each shape. which shape shows one-fourth?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each shape's division

• First shape: Divided into 4 parts? Wait, no, looking at the first quadrilateral, it's divided into 4? Wait, no, the first has 2 green and 2 white? Wait, no, let's check each:
• Second shape: Circle divided into 3 equal parts (since it's a 3 - part pie), so colored part is 1/3.
• Third shape: Square divided into 4 equal triangles (by two diagonals), colored part is 1 out of 4, so 1/4.
• Fourth shape: Square divided into 4 triangles, colored part is 3 out of 4, so 3/4.
• First shape: Let's see, the quadrilateral (maybe a kite or rhombus) is divided into 4? Wait, no, the first has 2 green and 2 white? Wait, no, maybe my initial analysis. Wait, the third shape: square with two diagonals, making 4 equal triangles. Colored is 1, so 1/4. The second is 3 parts, so 1/3. Fourth is 3/4. First: let's count the parts. The first figure (quadrilateral) is divided into 4? Wait, no, the first has 2 green and 2 white? Wait, maybe the first is divided into 4? Wait, no, the third shape: square with X (two diagonals) divides into 4 equal areas. So colored is 1, so 1/4. So the third shape (the square with the green triangle) or wait, the fourth? Wait, no, let's re - examine:

Wait, the third shape: square, diagonals drawn, so 4 equal triangles. Colored is 1, so fraction is 1/4. The second shape: circle divided into 3 equal sectors, so colored is 1/3. The fourth shape: square with diagonals, colored 3, so 3/4. The first shape: let's see, the quadrilateral (maybe a rhombus) is divided into 4? Wait, no, the first has 2 green and 2 white? Wait, maybe the first is divided into 4 parts, but 2 are colored, so 2/4 = 1/2. So the third shape (the square with the single green triangle) shows one - fourth. Wait, or maybe the third shape is the one with the green triangle, and the fourth has three purple. So the third shape (the square with the green triangle) is 1 out of 4 equal parts, so it represents 1/4.

Step2: Confirm the fraction

One - fourth means the shape is divided into 4 equal parts, and 1 part is colored.

• First shape: If divided into 4, 2 are colored (2/4 = 1/2).
• Second shape: Divided into 3, 1 colored (1/3).
• Third shape: Divided into 4 equal triangles, 1 colored (1/4).
• Fourth shape: Divided into 4, 3 colored (3/4).

So the third shape (the square with the green triangle) is the one that shows one - fourth. (Assuming the third shape is the square with the X and one green triangle, and the fourth is the square with three purple triangles)

Answer:

The third shape (the square with the green - colored triangle, divided into four equal triangular parts by its two diagonals) shows one - fourth. (If we consider the shapes from left to right as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, the 3rd shape)
